Norwich Sports (1914-1918)

Sports Day at Norwich. Norfolk. Opens with silly contests: first a race for young girls in which teams of 2 run; leap over each other’s back; run more; then another leapfrog bit. Then boys pushing others in wheelbarrows; and the one pushed knocks over bucket with a stick. Then a young man runner on the track in a long distance race. CU of the winner of the race; posing with other people standing around him; and a soldier holding up a card next to him. Flags of various countries fly above in background so maybe this event included soldiers from these places. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
